-i "discord-id"What is Grok Bot?
Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.
Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your Discord presence with Postiz.
Own Cloud Computer
Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Discord posts go out even when your laptop is closed.
Routines
Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on Discord content without being asked twice.
Approvals Built In
Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Discord posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.
How Postiz Works with Grok Bot
Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your Discord workflow on its own.
- ✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
- ✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
- ✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
- ✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
- ✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published
Grok Bot
# 1. Add the plugin to your Bot
/add-plugin postiz
# 2. Store your Postiz API key
# as a secret when prompted
# 3. Ask your Bot to verify

All Postiz commands are ready.Discord Messaging with Grok Bot
Your Bot reads the Postiz skill, discovers your Discord integration, and handles the entire posting workflow — from content creation to scheduling — on its own cloud computer.
Message Your Bot
Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat
Send a message to your Bot from the desktop app or your iPhone. It runs on its own cloud computer, so it picks up your message, discovers your Discord account via Postiz, uploads your media, and schedules the post — then asks you to approve before it goes live.
Grok Bot
You: Post to Discord about our new
feature launch, schedule for tomorrow
at 9am
Bot: Got it! Here's the plan:
1. Find your Discord integration
2. Compose your post content
3. Schedule for tomorrow 9:00 AM
Done! Post scheduled successfully.
